The rise of digital therapeutics is reshaping the clinical trial landscape. A new clinical trial by AppliedVR and Komodo Health seeks to use a virtual reality (VR) platform and real-world data (RWD) to explore chronic pain and pain interference endpoints. The ReleiVRx platform by AppliedVR is the first VR-based pain treatment cleared by the FDA as an adjunct therapy for lower back pain. Komodo Health will provide access to its Healthcare Map, a database that uses anonymized patient data from 330 million patients to track patient experiences within the healthcare system.

According to Becca Roberts, “AppliedVR and Komodo Health will conduct multiple health economic outcomes research studies using a methodology that Sackman said will allow companies to shape the speed, quality and design of the studies. Initially, the companies will conduct a randomized controlled trial of 1,000 people, consisting of four arms, lasting a total of 16 weeks. Participants will be divided into two groups for the first eight weeks: the control group (sham comparator) and the active treatment group, which will receive AppliedVR’s RelieVRx device.”
